Success = Capability + Aspiration + Commitment
It’s 5:30 AM on a December morning in 2008. The Agartala fog is so thick you can’t see the turn toward Drop Gate. I am 16 years old, my legs feel like lead, and I am pedaling my cycle as fast as I can.
We lived at the Police Quarters near the south end of the city. My Chemistry teacher was located near the MBB Club. It was a 30-minute uphill battle against the “ups and downs” of a city that didn’t yet have flyovers. My father, a police officer posted in a remote corner of Tripura, couldn’t be there to drop me. I was on my own.
I would arrive at class drenched in a cold sweat. By the time the ceiling fan started circulating that damp air, my body would shut down. My vision would blur, my head would heavy, and I would spend the entire hour in a semi-conscious fog. Then, in what felt like a single, cruel blink—the class was over.
I’d wipe the sleep from my eyes, hop back on my cycle, head to Netaji School, and then do it all over again for Math and Physics tuitions in the evening. 35 kilometers every single day. I was exhausted. I was drowning. And the worst part? I was terrified to tell my parents.
The Nightmare We Call “Popularity”
I chose those teachers because they were the “stars.” I thought if I sat in the same room as the toppers, some of their magic would rub off on me. But sitting in a cramped room with 60 other students in Ramnagar or Ker Chowmuni isn’t an education—it’s a herd.
I still have nightmares about those days. That suffocating feeling of looking at a chemical equation and realizing I had no idea how we got there, but being too embarrassed to raise my hand in a crowd of 60. I was paying for the best science teacher in Agartala, but what I was actually getting was a front-row seat to my own failure.
Why “Good” Teachers Can’t Save a “Tired” Student
Twenty years later, I look at the students in Agartala today and I see the same look in their eyes. The “Kota Factory” lifestyle has reached Tripura, but without the support system.
When you send your child to the best coaching centre in Agartala, you think you’ve solved the problem. But if that teacher is managing a sea of faces, they can’t see the “sleepy blink” of your child.
- The Approachability Gap: A student who is struggling is often a student who is silent. In a crowd, silence is invisible.
- The Pace Problem: A teacher moving at the speed of the “topper” leaves 40 other students in the dust.
- The Herd Mentality: There is a strange, dark comfort in failing in a group. You tell yourself, “At least I’m at the best tuition.” But when the results come, you are the only one who has to live with the heartbreak.
My Mission: Saving the “Younger Me”
I founded Nearby Tuitions because I don’t want another 16-year-old to feel that paralyzing anxiety at 2:00 AM, staring at a textbook that looks like a foreign language.
We want to give your child Direction and Time—the two things I lost on the roads of Agartala.

To the Parents of Agartala:
Your child might be telling you “everything is fine,” just like I told my father. But if they are spending more time commuting than sleeping, if they are losing their smile to the pressure of the “popular” batch, they are in trouble.Success isn’t about finding the most famous teacher; it’s about finding the one who sees your child. Let’s stop the 35km cycle to failure. Let’s bring the best tuition for CBSE/TBSE students in Tripura to your doorstep.
